About the piece
Painted in 1835 by Benjamin Heinrich Orth, this masterful group portrait depicts 'Three Friends' sharing a musical moment. The central figure holds a classic guitar while the man to his left displays a sheet of music, all rendered with the refined technique and elegant attire characteristic of the European Biedermeier period.
